Analysis Techniques for Active
Measurement Project (AMP) Data
An introductory paper on active measurement (AMP) data
analysis techniques was presented by Todd Hansen at CIC-2000. Through
case studies, this paper explains how to identify a variety of network
problems using the NLANR Measurement and Network Analysis AMP data (which
is publicly available.)

Long Header Traces: The Auckland-II
Trace Archive
Long header traces from New Zealand are now available
on the NLANR Measurement and Network Analysis Passive Measurement and
Analysis (PMA) Web site. The Auckland-II data set is a collection of
long GPS-synchronized IP header traces captured (since November 1999)
with a DAG2 system at the University of Auckland Internet uplink by
the Waikato Applied Network Dynamics (WAND) research group of the Computer
Science Department, University of Waikato (New Zealand).

Report on the CENIC 2000 Conference
Several members of the NLANR Measurement
and Network Analysis Group attended the CENIC 2000 Conference held in
San Diego in May. Systems administrator Bud Hale gave an ad hoc presentation
of our activities and filed this report.
Notes:
If you have URL's saved that include a vBNS directory,
they will no longer work. We have changed the name and are now using
the more inclusive term "HPC." Either follow the links from the AMP
home page, or edit the URL and replace "vBNS" with "HPC"
to regenerate a correct URL.
The NLANR Measurement and Network Analysis Group
We conduct performance and flow measurements
for High Performance Connection sites. We are located at the San Diego
Supercomputer Center (SDSC), University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
All members of the group contributed significantly to this issue of
the Network Analysis Times.
Congratulations to three of our student
researchers who graduated last spring: Jose Otero, Jeff Brown and Todd
Hansen. We are very lucky to be keeping all three (in various capacities).
Todd has signed on as a full time staff researcher with us. After spending
the summer at Lucent Technologies (formerly Bell Labs), Jeff will be
entering the UCSD Computer Science and Engineering department's Ph.D.
program; he will continue (as time permits) to evolve the
Cichlid 3-D visualization system, which he developed. Jose also
continues to work with us and is planning on entering the graduate program
at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO).
